Even though I love this book, here are a few things that annoyed me:

  • The whole plot is based on ONE Miscommunication that happened FOUR years ago
  • The romance was very slow paced and the "happy ending" felt very short. 
  • Europe was described from a very "American" perspective  

But looking past all of that; It´s the perfect book to read in the summer.
